DEATH… AND ME

ran through her body as she summoned her water skills.
Sure enough, members of the subordinate clans would be able to use two elements together.

’Water Thunder Dragons! ’

Different from the small water snakes from before, the Water Thunder Dragons were enormous.
Of course, there weren ’t a thousand of them, just three.
Still, their attack power was no joke.
They ran inside the Wind Judgement Tornado, attacking all the Decaying Devourers that passed through Silo ’s protection.
Erna was not a weapon user.
Instead, she focused on Spiritual Energy skills alone.
In fact, Calina did the same thing.

Calina also did what she could.

’Water Compression! ’

’Compressed Water Explosion! ’

An incredibly simple combination, to say the least.
Compressing the water with one ’s Spiritual Energy with the help of their Water Element control.
However, although the combination was simple, squeezing it with enough strength was another story altogether.
It was thanks to the Yin Energy acc.u.mulated in her body that she was able to reach this stage while still being in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The spheres of water shot in the direction of the Decaying Devourers that passed through Erna ’s Water Thunder Dragons.
The devourers didn ’t try to dodge it, so when the water spheres touched them, the compressed water expanded hastily like an explosion.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Those were all Stage Three Decaying Devourers, while Calina was still in the Foundation Establishment.
Although she had combat power at the Core Formation Initial Stage Level, she still lacked attack power.
Because of that, there wasn ’t much damage to them.
However, that wasn ’t Calina ’s objective.
Her intentions were quite straightforward, which was to throw those Decaying Devourers out of the Wind Judgement Tornado.
The Compressed Water Explosion just so happened to be perfect for it.

Unfortunately, Erna and Calina ’s efforts were still not enough.
There were just too many Decaying Devourers!

”F.u.c.k! Let ’s do this then! You two, use your Water Elements to protect yourselves. ”

Silo noticed that his Wind Judgement Tornado wasn ’t able to keep enough Decaying Devourers outside, so he decided to go all out.
The temperature in the surroundings immediately began to climb to terrifying degrees.

Calina and Erna immediately noticed what he was about to do, and a layer of water appeared around their bodies.

’Hell Judgment Tornado! ’

Silo ’s Wind Tornado transformed into an enormous fire one.
Sure enough, Silo was also a member of the subordinate clans under the Imperial Family, so using two elements was something he could do.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn ’t have been chosen to be one of Calina ’s protectors. 

His Wind Judgement Tornado was already able to inflict damage to those who tried to force their way in, let alone now.
With that, the number of Decaying Devourers that could pass through his barrier plummeted by half.
Not to mention that they already arrived inside in a sorry state after clashing against the Fire Tornado.
Of course, Silo ’s Spiritual Energy expenditure increased even more.
He even wondered if he would have enough to reach the end.

”Keep running! F.u.c.k, where is Valeu? Why hasn ’t he come to help us yet? ”

”He might have been caught by the Decaying Devourers as well.
Forget about him for now.
Focus on controlling your Hell Judgement Tornado.
We can ask questions later! ”

Silo and Erna were wrong about one thing, though.
The place where they were at the moment was, in fact, the Decaying Devourers territory.
It ’s just that the Jade Slips containing the map that they had were fake! It simply guided them directly inside the beasts ’ mouth.
As one could imagine, this was also part of Valeu and whoever was behind his actions ’ plan.

That wasn ’t all.
That white fog that Valeu used acted as a lure for Decaying Demon beasts.
It would mix itself with the Decaying Fog in the surroundings, attracting all the Decaying Demon Beasts several kilometers around it.
That ’s why even the Decaying Devourer Leader appeared.
They had been driven crazy by the effects of the white fog.

Valeu was still in the same place ever since he separated from the group.
He stayed in that position because he knew that this was the limit of the Decaying Devourers ’ territory.
They definitely wouldn ’t cross this line since the Decaying Fog outside was not enough for them to keep their forms.

Decaying Demon Beasts were kind of different from each other.
Some needed vast amounts of Decaying Fog Energy since their entire body was made of it other than the core.
Other Decaying Demon Beasts were different, like the Decaying Golems.
They could use both the Decaying Fog Energy and contaminated stones/dirt on the ground to form their bodies, reducing the amount of energy necessary.
Decaying Devourers were one of the few Decaying Demon Beasts with bodies entirely made of Decaying Fog, so they needed a lot of it.

~~Bo~~oom…

Valeu could hear the sound of explosions in the distance, quickly approaching his position.

’As expected, Silo and Erna still made their way back.
Most likely, Calina is with them as well.
However, I wonder just how much effort they had to put into bringing the little Princess back. ’

Valeu coldly smiled as he vanished in the dark fog.
